Reminds me of the unix-way-of-doing things:
we first need a fast, damn-good working command line tool. Then we can start about discussing and implementing GUIs for this command line.
ZDM should run on rug, not vice-versa, as an additional feature.
I also think, that removing the package manager from YaST is a good idea. yast and yast2 makes a lot of work. With a good commandline tool, there is no need for yast-pm in console mode. It's too much work.
Let's make (rug) the best commandline tool, and then give rug two frontend-families: zen-installer for newbies, (please one tool, not intstaller and remover) and zen-updater a new qt/gtk-frontend with full installation source management, selections etc
I also like the new user management, so you do not need the root password for package installation. You must also like MS windows with all of it's virii/worm spreading capabilities as that is what you are asking for here. What happens when you need to remove someone from being able to update software? I see no means of removing them from ZEN.
